Very high TG

Hi,
I have discovered on a routine blood test that my triglyceride are very high (972 mg/dl). Could you please advise me what should I do for rapid normalizing these levels? Could you pls direct me to further available information esp concerning risks, causes, treatment, specific diet, etc?

Other results:
HDL 63
LDL 158 mg/dl
total 227 mg/dl

Thank you.

I would recommend a Heart Healthy diet which is a moderate fat diet. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats. Eat low fat meats (chicken, fish, loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products, nuts), low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans, pasta & beans, low fat cheese & pasta), low fat and substitute dairy products (1% milk, low fat/fat free yogurts, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal).
